Eighty Nashville college students from three schools gathered to protest a Greek paraphernalia shop, charging that the wife of the owner called three members of a Tennessee State University sorority a racial slur.

Spearheaded by members of the Alpha Beta chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., community members joined students from Tennessee State, Vanderbilt University and Nashville State Technical Community College on Nov. 9 to picket the You Greek, Me Greek store on the city's West End Avenue. 

Sorority members Ashley Coleman and Latoya Trice told the Meter, the Tennessee State University newspaper, that they and their sorority sister April Gardner went to the store on Oct. 28 because the faded lettering on T-shirts ordered on Oct. 5 did not meet with the chapter's approval.  more >>
